title: [Liver hemangioma. II. Surgical indications, choice of procedure, results].
abstract: From our point of view surgical therapy for liver hemangioma is indicated for tumors with a diameter exceeding 5 cm, with superficial position, and complaints. Further criteria are changes in size or internal structure of the tumor. Treatment of choice are atypical and anatomical resections, respectively, according to the size of the hemangioma. Elective surgery can be performed with considerable low risks with respect of the spontaneous course.
